As I’m sure all of you know, Yahoo! bought Flickr way back in 2005 (oh so long ago), a move which puzzled many folks since Yahoo! already ran its own photo storage and sharing service, the uncleverly named and somewhat bland Yahoo! Photos. Well, after two years of running both services side by side, Yahoo! has decided to shut down Yahoo! Photos. Normally, when something like this happens, companies tie their users to migrating their information to the new service they own, but not the case here. If for whatever reason you’ve been using Yahoo! Photos, Yahoo! is being nice enough to let you export your photos to not just Flickr, but also Photobucket, recently purchased by MySpace, SnapFish, and many others. Way to please your users Yahoo! Now if only I could still use my old Flickr account instead of having to have a Yahoo! one, all your users would be happy…
